Summary

Warner Girls Leadership Academy is a small elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Cleveland Municipal School District. With just 319 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools over the past several years, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 37.3% to 59.6% in recent years. Academically, students at Warner Girls Leadership Academy perform well below district and state averages on Ohio state assessments, with only 20% of 5th graders proficient in science compared to 27% for the district and 63.4% statewide. Math proficiency is especially low, with just 5.3% of 6th graders and 8.7% of 7th graders meeting standards. The school struggles the most with its African American and economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the bottom 40-50% of Ohio elementary schools.

While Warner Girls Leadership Academy is part of a struggling district, nearby schools like Miles Park School and Albert Bushnell Hart perform similarly poorly, suggesting systemic challenges. In contrast, Cuyahoga Hts Elementary School, which is outside the Cleveland Municipal district, demonstrates remarkably high performance with over 80% proficiency rates in math and English language arts. Some nearby charter schools, like Harvard Avenue Performance Academy and The Brilliance School, also outperform the traditional public schools in the area, though they still struggle with low proficiency rates overall.
